3、ull-Use Standard 5 December 2013 IEEE-SA Standards Board Abstract: This document provides an implementation-independent specification for a software interface to information systems containing data pertinent to the diagnosis and maintenance of complex systems consisting of hardware, software, or any
4、 combination thereof. These interfaces will support service definitions for creating application programming interfaces (API) for the access, exchange, and analysis of historical diagnostic and maintenance information. This will address the pervasive need of organizations to assess the effectiveness
5、 of diagnostics for complex systems throughout the product life cycle. The use of formal information models will facilitate exchanging historical maintenance information between information systems and analysis tools. The models will facilitate creating open system software architectures for maturin

Introduction This introduction is not part of IEEE Std 1636-2009, IEEE Standard
9、for Software Interface for Maintenance Information Collection and Analysis (SIMICA). The requirement for a specification for access and exchange of diagnostic and maintenance product information has arisen due to a pervasive need for the organizations who deliver complex systems to monitor the effec
10、tiveness of their product health management solutions in their customers application domains. Accordingly, The IEEE SCC20 Diagnostic and Maintenance Control (DMC) subcommittee has undertaken the task of developing a standard which fulfills this need. It is envisioned that SIMICA will fulfill this ne
11、ed for all such consumers of diagnostic and maintenance data. Notice to users Laws and regulations Users of IEEE Standards documents should consult all applicable laws and regulations.

Overview 1.1 General This Standard Software Interface for Maintenance Information Collection and Analysis (SIMICA) was developed by the Diagnostic and Maintenance Control Subcommittee of the IEEE Standards Coordinating Committee 20 on Test a
38、nd Diagnosis for Electronic Systems (SCC20) to provide standard, unambiguous definitions of maintenance information semantics, interrelationships, and access services. This standard defines a formal conceptual information model to relate maintenance information across concrete information models. Th
39、ese models are related to the maturation of diagnostic systems and as such are directly related to IEEE Std 12321. However this standard, in conjunction with its component standards, can also be used independent of AI-ESTATE. The goals of the 1636 family of standards are summarized here: Provide def
40、initions of maintenance concepts and terminology relevant to the maturation of diagnostic systems. Provide a set of information models that will serve as a basis for unambiguous interpretation and communication of such data. 1Information on references can be found in Clause 2.

41、E Standard for Software Interface for Maintenance Information Collection and Analysis (SIMICA) 2 Copyright 2013 IEEE. All rights reserved. Support the development of a software interface for moving such data between conforming applications. This standard specifically describes a set of formal specif
42、ications consisting of the logical representation of the information that is used and generated during related diagnostic and maintenance processes. The information model contained in this document provides a standard model of the top-level information concepts that support these processes. Other co
43、mponents of this family of standards will further develop conceptual decompositions of key elements of these processes down to the elemental data level, where specific software interfaces can be represented. The relationship of these components to each other is shown in Figure 1. IEEE Std 1636.1 def
44、ines an information model and XML schema for exchanging test result and session information. IEEE P1636.2 defines an information model and XML schema for exchanging maintenance action information. Precise specification of the semantics of these data elements will provide the basis for services suppo
45、rting the unambiguous exchange of information between producers and consumers of historical diagnosis and maintenance information in a platform-independent manner. SIMICA exhibits a close relationship to the IEEE Std 1232 through its direct use of Dynamic Context Model historical records of diagnost
46、ic sessions, which is also shown in Figure 1. The intent of this relationship is to relate diagnostic session information to associated maintenance actions for further analysis and maturation of diagnostic models and reasoner learning mechanisms. Figure 1 Relationship of SIMICA component EXPRESS sch
47、emata This standard family provides a controlled extension mechanism of its software interface components to allow inclusion of relevant new maintenance information elements currently outside the scope of the SIMICA specification. The SIMICA family of standards defines key information specification
48、formats. Implementations that use only these specification formats will be portable. This does not preclude use of SIMICA interfaces with non-conformant specification formats; however, such implementations may not be portable. Software specifications defined in the SIMICA family of standards will su
49、pport the interchangeability of information between conformant applications. This will allow a large degree of flexibility in implementation of information application architectures that support information reuse and realize various maintenance information services (such as, but not limited to, client-server approaches, service oriented architectures, etc.).
